Things have gone rather easily for you these past few months. It’s been a placid kind of period. To prevent any lethargy, however, the cosmos throws some excitement and challenge at you this month. First off, there are two eclipses. This almost guarantees change and excitement. But also we see, for the first time since February, a raft of planets (short-term ones) in stressful aspect with you. So health will need attention this month – especially from the 23rd onwards. Until the 3rd enhance the health with arm and shoulder massage. From the 3rd to the 28th pay more attention to the stomach – diet will be an issue this period. After the 28th give more attention to the heart. The most important thing, as our regular readers know, is to maintain high energy levels. Make sure you get enough rest.
The solar eclipse of the 2nd occurs in your 3rd house and affects students below college level. They could change schools or educational plans. There are personal dramas in the lives of siblings and sibling figures – and also in those of neighbours. There can be disruptions in your neighbourhood. Communication equipment will get tested and sometimes will need replacement. The money people in your life are forced to make important financial changes. Every solar eclipse impacts on the home and family, and this one is no different. Thus there are dramas in the lives of family members. Repairs might be needed in the home. The good news is that your home and family are major priorities this month and you seem on the case. The results will be successful. Siblings and sibling figures are also forced to make important financial changes. There is disruption in their financial lives.
The lunar eclipse of the 16th occurs in your 9th house – the second one of the year in this house. This also impacts on students, both at college and pre-college levels. It indicates shake-ups and disturbances in their schools – in the administration, and changes in subjects, courses or educational plans. There are shake-ups in your place of worship too. Again siblings and sibling figures are having personal dramas. The money people in your life still need to make financial changes. This eclipse affects your love planet, Pluto, so there are dramas in the life of the current love. Your relationship gets tested.
Career is important all year – after all, your career planet, Uranus, is in your sign. But these days it can be de-emphasized a bit, and more focus given to the home and family. Emotional wellness will pay career dividends later on.

Health still needs watching this month. However, you will see major improvements from the 23rd onwards. This is just a temporary spell of low energy caused by short-term transits: by the 23rd all the planets will be in harmonious alignment with you. In the meantime, enhance the health through right diet and cultivating good emotional health. It would be good to have some fun too. Avoid depression (another name for low energy) like the plague. Meditation is one of the best natural ways to manage the emotional life.
The night side (the lower half) of your Horoscope is dominant this month, so career issues can be downplayed. It is good, when the night side of your chart is strong, to pursue career goals by the methods of night – by dreaming, visualization and meditation. Later, as the planetary power shifts, these visualizations and dreams will start to become realities. You will see major improvements in the career from the 23rd onwards, but most of your focus should still be on your family (and especially on children and children figures) for a while.
With the 4th house so strong these days (it was very strong last month too), it is a good time for psychological therapies. Those of you already in therapy will see much progress – more so than usual. Breakthroughs will happen.
There is another shift underway. On July 23 the planetary power began to shift from the Eastern to the Western sector of your chart, from the sector of self to the sector of others. This month that shift is in full swing. There is less independence now – and perhaps less of a need for it. It is time to adapt to situations rather than change them. Your good comes through others and their good graces and not so much from your personal initiative. The planetary power is moving away from you and towards others. And so should you. Put others first, provided that doing so isn’t destructive. Your way might not be the best way these days.
Finances, always important for you, Taurus, are good this month. Mercury moves speedily and financial confidence is good. There is fast progress. Things are slower in the world (40 per cent of the planets are retrograde) but you don’t seem affected financially. Family and family connections are still a major factor in finances. After the 28th, money comes in fun kinds of ways and you’re likely to spend more on leisure. Taureans are not especially speculative, but after the 28th you are a bit more so than usual.
There is big improvement in the love life from the 23rd onwards.

Last month, on the 23rd, you began one of your yearly personal pleasure peaks. This goes on until September 23. Your 5th house of fun, children and creativity is chock-full of planets – and most of them are beneficent, friendly planets. So it’s time to have some fun and enjoy life. As you do, you will find that health and finances also improve. Spiritual gurus all talk about the importance of ‘letting go’. Take a vacation from your cares and personal goals and just enjoy the wonderful life that has been given. When you go back to your worries and issues, you will find many of them have been solved or are less severe. You are in one of those ‘letting go’ times.
Since August 18 there has been a beautiful Grand Trine in the Earth signs. Earth is your native element, so things are very comfortable for you. Your financial and management judgement (always good) are super these days. You sense and feel what will work on the physical and material plane. You have a special ability to make dreams and ideas ‘real’ – to materialize them. The Grand Trine in Earth tends to prosperity. This Grand Trine will be in effect all month, although it gets a bit weaker after the 23rd.
Your love planet, Pluto, is still retrograde, but the love life is wonderful this month. Perhaps it is slower than usual. There’s no need to arrange a wedding or make important love decisions, but it seems happy as it is. Love is good all month, but after the 14th it might need more work and effort.
Health is wonderful all month. There are no planets in any stressful kind of aspect with you (except the Moon, and then only occasionally). Health is another form of wealth and should be considered a prosperity factor. You can enhance your already good health by having fun until the 14th, and then by giving more attention to the hips and kidneys after then. A happy love life will do much to enhance the health too. Regular hip massage and an occasional herbal kidney cleanse will also be good. If health problems occur (unlikely), restore harmony to the love life as soon as possible.
Mercury, your financial planet, is moving forward but a bit slower than last month. So finances are moving forward. Until the 14th there is happy money – money that is earned (and spent) in happy ways. There is luck in speculations too. The health field (a huge field) seems attractive to investors. But money will come from solid work after the 14th. This is not a problem for Taurus, though. Taureans like work.

Your 6th house of health and work became powerful on September 23 and is still powerful until the 23rd. Thus, in the unlikely event that you are unemployed (rare for a Taurus) there are many job opportunities happening – and good ones. Even if you are already employed there are opportunities for overtime and second jobs. You’re in the mood for work these days and employers pick up on this.
There is also a great focus on health since September 23. With no planets in stressful alignment with you, this can be a kind of ‘over focus’. Be careful not to magnify little things into big things. On the positive side, it’s a good time to get into daily health regimes of a preventative nature. This will stand you in good stead for later in the month when health and energy are a bit more stressful. After the 23rd make sure to get enough rest. Things that you did with no problem over the past few months might be harder now. Until the 8th enhance the health with hip massage and more attention on the kidneys (like last month). After the 8th you will respond well to detox regimes. Give more attention to the colon, bladder and sexual organs. Safe sex and sexual moderation become more important after the 8th.
Love is really the main headline this month. There are a few nice developments happening. First of all, your love planet, Pluto, starts to move forward on the 3rd after many months of retrograde motion. By now you’ll have greater clarity about love, your relationship, and what your needs are. By the 23rd your 7th house of love becomes powerful for the first time this year. It happens little by little. On the 3rd Mercury enters the 7th house; on the 8th, Venus does; and on the 23rd, the Sun. You begin a yearly love and social peak. The love life and social life become very active. There is a lot of socializing that relates to business and work. You have the aspects of someone who likes to do business with friends and someone who likes to socialize with people you do business with. The distinctions between friendship and business are blurred. One merges into the other. There is also more socializing with family members. Family likes to play Cupid these days. You find an allurement to health professionals or to those who are involved in your health. If you focus on your financial, health and family goals, the love life will take care of itself.
Career is more stressful after the 23rd. You just have to put in more work. Part of the problem is the focus on the social life, which seems to distract you. But this is a good distraction this month.

Health is improving but still needs a bit of watching until the 22nd. Mars in your 6th house of health until the 19th indicates that you get good results from spiritual therapies, such as meditation, the laying on of hands, reiki and the manipulation of subtle energies. If you feel under the weather see a spiritual healer. Spiritual-type exercises also seem good – yoga, tai chi, chi gong, etc. And give more attention to the liver and thighs until the 26th. Regular thigh massage is beneficial. After the 26th back and knee massage will be powerful.
Your health planet goes ‘out of bounds’ from the 15th to the 30th. Thus in health matters you’re exploring things outside your normal experience. There are no answers in your normal sphere and you must go beyond for what you seek. Your job could also be taking you outside your usual haunts.
Venus travels with Jupiter almost all month, and especially from the 22nd to the 24th. This is a happy transit. It brings success at the job and perhaps a happy job opportunity. It also brings love and sexual opportunity. It brings good news on the health front.
You’re still in a yearly love and social peak until the 22nd. And you will still be active socially after that date. Mercury will be in your 7th house all month and on the 19th Mars enters here. Mars’s entrance into your house of love indicates socializing with spiritual-type people. Wealth and family connections are important, but there is a yearning for spiritual connection. Being on the same page spiritually – in your ideals and practice – will be a big help in love. Spiritual-type venues or charity events will also be places of romantic opportunity.
